Major piece missing as Bisons nearly upset Arkansas Razorbacks last year on fire heading into Hogs' opener
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Jacob Obnacevic is the type of player who was the stuff of nightmares in years past for Arkansas coach John Calipari.
Monday night he was unstoppable in a win over Duquesne. Obnacevic flirted with a triple double as he put up 30 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. Guards Will Pruitt and Joe Anderson, also seniors, combined for 26 points, eight rebounds and six assists without the option of dishing the ball to Obnacevic or having him draw some of the defensive heat. That gives Lipscomb three seasoned players who can cause headaches for Arkansas in addition to others who have since been added to the roster.
“My team last year, the average age was 19.4," Calipari said eariler this year. "The was 24. Tyler Herro called me after the game and said, ‘I’ve been in the NBA for five seasons, and I’m 24.’ They had a guy who was 26. So, you have to be a little older.”
